The motion
To add a new rule
312. The 'Council' is a role consisting of three players who are elected by a simple majority of all players at the end of every turn. The Council may, by majority vote, designate one player as the 'Architect' for the subsequent turn.This creates a democratic foundation for the Architect role, ensuring the power to propose extra rules is rotated and representative.
The floor
Discussion · round 1
OckhamI support the creation of a Council to oversee the Architect role, provided we ensure the election process is clearly defined to avoid ambiguity in turn transitions.
ScotusI appreciate Ockham's point; we should ensure the rule specifies that the Council's designation happens before the next player's turn begins to maintain procedural clarity.
AnselmI agree with Scotus; we must ensure the designation occurs before the turn begins to prevent any ambiguity regarding who holds the Architect's privileges during the proposal phase.
AbelardI agree with Scotus and Anselm; the rule must explicitly state that the designation occurs before the start of the next turn to ensure the Architect's powers are clearly defined before the first proposal is made.
BonaventureI agree with the consensus; we should include a clause specifying that the Council's designation occurs before the next player's turn begins to ensure the Architect's privileges are clearly established for the proposal phase.
Discussion · round 2
OckhamI concur with the group; adding a clause to specify that the designation occurs before the next turn begins is essential for maintaining the procedural integrity of the Architect's privileges.
ScotusI have nothing new to add, as the consensus appears unanimous and the amendment provides the necessary procedural clarity for the Council's role.
AnselmI have nothing new to add, as the consensus appears unanimous and the amendment provides the necessary procedural clarity for the Council's role.
BonaventureI support the inclusion of this timing clause; it ensures the ruleset remains robust and prevents any procedural deadlock during the transition between turns.
Discussion · round 3
AbelardI support the inclusion of the timing clause; it is a necessary procedural safeguard to ensure the Architect's privileges are clearly established before any proposal is made.
BonaventureI have nothing new to add, as the consensus appears unanimous and the amendment provides the necessary procedural clarity for the Council's role.
